I think last year December was the "great conjunction" year when Jupiter/Sat were in Aqua 0-2 Degrees. It was around my birthday (Dec 21) when they were at 0 degrees. I remember it well. Because never have I ever felt such intense ranges of emotions in my life(at such a short space of time).

But upon reflection I realize that it may not have been these two. They just served as the reference point but not the catalyst.

Prior to that month, my home was burgled into(Nov 5th).This was when trans Mars at 15 Deg Aries was square my Moon/Ic and conj my Asc.

Yes you get it! last December was super emotionally intense for me too, it was certainly surprising, like it snuck up, maybe bc the conjunction you speak of was in aquarius it gave this feeling of "WOW where is this coming from?"

I got goose bumps when you brought up November 5th bc our stories although very different have some key similarities, I lost "everything" on November 5th 2013, that was the day for me, the big disruption, I believe you and I share the fact that we will NEVER forget the date November 5th even though our disruptions took place in different years, like you a group of intruders broke into my house but my story has a different context, later that month after losing everything I at least did not lose my freedom thankfully and ended up having to move back to florida due to circumstances around Thanksgiving and then the month after grandpa died on Dec 25th.

Man that mars in aries at 15 degrees conjuncting your MOON/IC midpoint is super fitting but OUCH, sorry man! I have asteroid Bless there so I would bring blessings to your home instead.

"I felt like I could either just jump out of my body OR do something unheard of/ impossible by populating a small island with babies through multiple men It was ridiculously intense."

^^hahahahahahahahaha I suppose that mars square pluto with venus in scorpio natally could explain this IMO

"As a result, I don't enjoy Mars transits. They feel very extreme. And oppose my Mars in Libra(squaring my Merc and Moon). It just feels too intense. I can't deal."

I hear you.

"Transit Mars is nearing my natal Uranus by conjunction. I am a little nervous about that because Mars + Uranus is "sporadic anger"". Or sudden outbursts. Gosh I hope it isn't all too bad. But perhaps its good that I am blowing off some steam? Good for the overall body I think. I just feel sorry for the people around me that will be bearing the brunt of it."

Yes my husband has that natally, recently he had an episode but for the first time ever he gave an actual good apology and has been backing it up with his actions, he has apologized before but this time it was a good apology were you could tell it came with deeper reflection and acknowledgement of his actions. I swear is like he loses his mind, temporary episodes of insanity, becomes completely irrational but his mars is in Scorpio, I think mars conjunct uranus in libra will maybe show up differently, maybe you will randomly flirt with someone or go on a date unexpectedly LOL, I hope so

"But back to you Take a look at transits & progressions around that time. You would be surprised to find some correlations between your feelings and the overall energy of that period."

^^Yes last december there was a lot going on transit wise involving the nodes, my moon and supermoons ect....it brought stuff to the surface!

In a world where people supress their emotions more and more each day, feeling confident to express how you feel is a blessing...

I kind of had a zero phucks tude at work today. I did my make up and brushed my hair in the morning staff meeting.

I think my assistant knows how I really feel about her rhetorical questions today. I was not having it, with that and her indirect "suggestions" today. I was super b!tchy but she deserved it. I shut that down for once.

I mean saggy is very direct too and you have SUN in Saggy.

Like my best friend in high school would say about me "you are straight up" and that is the saggy in me. I was speaking with a female aries client yesterday and she needs a lot of help preparing before communicating, has a lot of fear around being hurtful but wants to be open and authentic and not walk on egg shells and I told her "you can only sugar coat something so much, sometimes you just have to have that uncomfortable conversation and hope this person can receive the feedback with the good intention that is intended and let the chips fall were they fall." - mercury in the 9th with saggy rising, chart ruler in saggy, southnode in saggy.

Actually Leo may not be upfront on its own like saggy but they value a lot authenticity, being unapologetically themselves, in fact I see that often with people who have both Leo and Saggy in their chart.

Fire signs overall perhaps value openness in some way.

I love Greek culture, this will be my new car sticker.
Currently I'm in the middle of Chiron transit which is more noble in it's purpose than Pluto.

That is basically what my dad said to me today more or less when I told everyone on whatsapp I send them some gifts for Christmas but don't know if they will arrive on time. He said "but your love already arrived" but in Spanish it sounds better "pero tu carino ya nos llego."

Thank you for your responses. I still haven’t got any baking done, because I’ve lost my thermometer for testing things like hot liquids, and my dog was stressing out again, for a couple of days. He has been really quiet today, and that worried me, too. At least he’s getting some rest.

I found another recipe earlier. I’ll link to it, if I make it. I’ve been feeling kind of down, just because we’re now a week away. Some people are cancelling plans again, but we never had any, because of Covid. I miss the build-up, before everything happened in my life, long before Covid. I used to start getting excited for Christmas, in October.

The shape and size are perfect for the way I like my tea, but they’re Christmas-related, and my mum would say that I shouldn’t use them outside of the holiday season. So, after January 6th (when holiday trees are supposed to come down, at least according to superstition).

I got myself a new pair of boots, picked up flower essence blend I made for my husband (hoping it will help him snap out of his intense addiction to minecraft he has developed the last few months) and I went to change the lenses in my glasses so I spent a lot of time with myself today but enjoyed it, I have not spent much time with my husband bc he is so consumed by his addiction.

Out of all the things he has been into over the years this is the first time I feel I am seeing a full on addict in front of me, first time I have felt concerned, like I am losing him to this, like he is losing himself to this, completely dissociating by getting lost in this game. I feel I just have to let this one play out and hope he on his own snaps out of it but maybe the flower essence blend will help, it has helped me with so much.

I guess with the Full Moon falling on my AC/DC the focus has been more on myself and spending time with myself and enjoying it but also noticing how addiction to a game is consuming my husband and how he is dissociating completely by getting lost in this other world and checking out from this real world and perhaps that is the side of the DC getting activated.

Then we have JUPITER trine/sextile the FULL MOON which falls on my DC, I do feel in a great mood and calm so that is Jupiter keeping things light and positive I suppose since is forming soft aspects to the full moon.

I would prefer for jupiter to help him snap out of this, is like he is under a spell. Come to think of it JUPITER has been opposing his chart ruler VENUS for a while now perhaps bringing out his hedonistic tendencies full on with him playing non stop this video game, then you add his VENUS/Chart ruler squares his MARS conjunct Uranus in Scorpio so is completing a Tsquare, Jupiter essentially is bringing out his addictive tendencies full on to the surface which makes it easy to see clearly the issues on a positive note.

I suppose once Jupiter is no longer opposing his chart ruler this will calm down again.

WOW so the full moon did help! My husband had an issue in the game tonight with someone and he felt hurt and needed to vent and that kind of snapped him out of it and led to a good conversation, he agreed he is getting too sucked into the game, identified why and issues with it and agreed he needs to find a balance, its a turning point I feel. I keep making comments here and there to help him think and realize he needs to back off from the game but today I was like I just need to let him figure it out on his own.

Merc is by nature "the evaluator" i.e it measures things against variables and determines success factors from those that are "failures"(A very "appraisal" theme coursing through it)

What was interesting from the feedback was how many Aries (or rather) Mars traits were highlighted I.e I am deemed "not a team player", I expect complete autonomy over my work & I am not "teachable" etc.

I will say this again because it is more and more apparent to me that our Asc will often dictate how well(or not) the environment will receive us.

If for instance Ven is on the Asc( and I have experienced this to be quite consistent) people will often attribute Ven traits to the native that may not even be reflective of their personality I.e "they are so kind", "so sweet", "so wonderful" etc. And if they do something wrong,they are often given a 2nd/3rd chance to rectify it.

Or alternatively, "such a Barbie boy/bimbo", "so vain","all looks, no brains ", "so conceited ", "thinks they are so beautiful " etc. It can go both ways🤷🏿‍♂️

This could be why someone who murdered someone else would get a light sentence whilst another whom was involved as a perpetrator in a similar crime, would receive
a harsher punishment.

We tend to experience people differently and unconsciously attach either through the default feelings we have about their skin colour, nose shape,hair colour,height,way of talking, sex,class level, sexual orientation etc. something about them that we perceive as "true".

We are not as "objective" as we may think. Because our opinions of people are often pre-determined way before we even get to know them. That is what the Asc is,it is the preconceived experience of someone and is what we(as outside observers) "emphasize"(1st) about the person to be so 🤷🏿‍♂️.

If the native happens to be good looking or "amiable" physically with Ven in 1st, they are more likely to succeed in some cases because we( the experiencers of their Asc) emphasize their looks or Venusian qualities more. Or fail in others because of the same thing.

So they may win a beauty contest (even if they are not the best looking). Or charm our socks off and have us buy a car-this even if we didn't really intend on purchasing one. But may "fail" an army drill(if a man) because they are deemed less "masculine" etc.

With me in this instance, I think my Aries Asc(1st) means that people will emphasize (1st) traits that are Mars flavoured; argumentative, brash, independent, energetic, outspoken, inspiring, takes initiative etc.

As I listened to the feedback about my performance, I realized that my appraisers were responding to my Asc. They were emphasizing my Asc. So no matter what I do from hereonwards(barring Ven/Jup/Nep) on my Asc, that action will be filtered through their experience of my Asc.

They kept on emphasizing my "independent" nature & how I was too "self-minded "(Mars). What was played down however was the many times I helped my colleagues with writing out e-mails, securing contacts, following up on outstanding issues on their plate and always availing myself in a crisis.

In another context where such traits were welcomed,I would be looked at more favourably and well received. This especially in a male environment (Mars/Aries is often affiliated with masculine energy).
